About Emoji Reference Table
Unicode rows with localized labels
Each row comes from the Unicode emoji dataset and includes the emoji glyph, localized name, group, subgroup, code point, Unicode emoji version, and related keywords where available. It is useful for design systems, UI copy, documentation, and development notes.
Filter groups and copy values
Search works across emoji characters, localized names, keywords, groups, subgroups, versions, and code points. Group and subgroup filters narrow the long Unicode list, and the emoji or code point cells can be copied directly from the table.
Appearance depends on the platform
Emoji rendering is controlled by each operating system, app, browser, and font. A code point listed here does not guarantee that every device supports the latest glyph, shows the same artwork, or interprets the symbol with the same cultural meaning.
FAQ
Common questions and answers about this topic.
How do I find a specific emoji and copy it?
Type a name, keyword or code point into the search box, or paste the emoji itself — the search matches English and your current display language at the same time. You can also narrow the list with the Group and Subgroup filters. Click the Emoji cell to copy the character, or the Code point cell to copy the code point.
Are the name and keywords the meaning of an emoji?
They are the official Unicode CLDR name and search keywords. For example, 😀 (U+1F600) is officially grinning face, with keywords such as grin, happy, smile and teeth. They describe what the symbol officially depicts and which words will find it — not the slang or implied meaning it may carry in a particular community or conversation.
How many emoji does this table cover and how are they organised?
It lists all 5225 rows of the official Unicode set in 10 groups and 100 subgroups. The groups are far from even: People & Body 3468, Objects 316, Symbols 305, Flags 276, Travel & Places 268, Smileys & Emotion 187, Animals & Nature 167, Food & Drink 133, Activities 96, and 9 Components. The newest release, Unicode Emoji 17.0, adds 183 rows.
Why does the same emoji appear on several rows, and which one should I copy?
Unicode records some symbols in more than one qualification form: 3944 rows are fully qualified, 1029 minimally qualified, 243 unqualified, and 9 are components. The difference lies in invisible characters such as the variation selector U+FE0F. Fully qualified is the form Unicode lists for keyboards and display, so prefer that row when pasting into chat or a web page.
Why does People & Body have 3468 rows when Smileys & Emotion has only 187?
Because people emoji expand by skin tone and gender: 2905 of the 3468 People & Body rows carry a skin tone modifier, while none of the 187 Smileys & Emotion rows do — a yellow face has no such variants. The 9 rows under Components are exactly those building blocks: 5 skin tones and 4 hair styles.
If an emoji is listed here, will my device definitely display it?
Not necessarily. How an emoji looks is decided by the operating system, app, browser and font; this table only guarantees the code point and the official name. The newer the version, the more likely support is still missing — the 183 rows added in Unicode Emoji 17.0 may appear as a box on older systems. Copying the code point into code or a design file is safe; copying the character depends on the device that reads it.
